Why he might be annoying

His name is a bitch to say and write.
He was a vegetarian.
He considered leaving astrophysics after Sir Arthur Eddington mocked his suggestion that a massive star could collapse past white dwarf size into a point source.
He complained that the Nobel Prize committee cited only his early work on white dwarfs, which he felt denigrated his later achievements.

Why he might not be annoying

He let friends, students and colleagues address him by the less daunting 'Chandra.'
He was married to Lalitha Doraiswamy for 59 years.
Eddington later sponsored his membership in the Royal Society. (Presumably Eddington's way of saying, 'Guess you were right about black holes. My bad.')
He was the namesake for NASA's Chandra X-Ray Obervatory.
British Astronomer Royal Martin Rees said, 'Chandra probably thought longer and deeper about our universe than anyone since Einstein.'
